I met Susan in 1990, and knew that God had put her on my heart the moment we met. Through the years we had the closest relationship both before she came to know Jesus, as well as after.

My dear brothers and sisters, how can you claim to have faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ if you favor some people over others? Do not try to blend the genuine faith of our glorious Lord Jesus, the Anointed One, with your silly pretentiousness. Dear brothers, what’s the use of…
